Features you wish your car had
Discussion
Remote controls on the steering wheel. Apparently it doesn't "because racecar!".
Which is bloody stupid, because since when did not having to take your hands off the wheel to adjust the volume, skip a music track, or pickup a phone call in any way detract from the driving experience?

Heated windscreen - miss that feature off my old Focus.
Blowers that clear the drivers side as quick as the passengers side, I dislike having to drive like Ace Ventura in the cold/rain.
Rear wiper - not being able to get above 30 on my commute to work means I cant see a thing out of the rear window unless its a really windy day. using just the demister takes forever to clear the frost/rain completely to see.
CUP HOLDERS!! who the f
k thought it wise to offer a completely useless storage tray over a cup holder needs skewering with a hot poker! and the prick who chose that over a cup holder!
Better lumbar support.
Traction Control that can actually be turned off and not just dumbed down.

My car has just about everything I could possibly need or want; heated, partly electric seats, sat nav, access to the internet(never actually used it buts it's there).
However my last 3 cars if held the unlock button the windows opened, they shut when if you hold the lock button, this new one doesn't
Also would like a slightly bigger sat nav screen, air conditioned seats and a power opening boot, this one just swings up all the way, convenient but not elegant.
I'd also like parking sensors that work properly, they don't beep until you're about to hit something then it screams, a display that shows how close you are would be nice too, the BMW had one, the Mercedes doesn't. I can park by the way, It's just helpful.
And a panoramic sunroof, the look very good with a panoramic sunroof.
It would also be good if it could tell me my MPG, rather than a confusing diagram of charts, all I know is it's good on fuel, I don't know how good though.

A Stereo that doesn't turn itself on a bit too loud even if you switched it off last time you were in the car.
A Stereo that doesn't increase the volume of the traffic report when you turn up the music, and then leaves it at "Rockin out" volume even after you have turned the music back down ( I've nearly bloody crashed because of Sharon Sandell of BBC Radio Leicester at Jet engine in the back seat volume)
A Stereo that takes less than a year to fathom out where everything is.
Yes AUDI/SEAT RNS-E, I'm looking at you.
